Nope.

Once again I had to look it up. That's one obscure quote.

You think so? It's a significant episode, and the scene in question is (without revealing too much) one of my favourite "sticks out like a sore thumb when watched now" moments.

Okay, this may narrow it down too much, but the episode in question introduced a new alien species (they had been mentioned, but not seen).

The Last Outpost, the Ferengi. Probably slobbering over someone's communicator.

Close enough. It's Riker confirming their suspicions. I've always wondered if Will was telling the truth or just posturing.

You're up.

"Oh, your species is always suffering and dying."

That's a Q line, but I don't know the specific episode.

It is indeed a Q episode, one in which a number of humans were suffering and dying offscreen while Q was futzing about with the crew.

"Hide and Q"? I remember some disaster that Riker had to resist using his Q powers on.

Correct.

Time for another change-up. One of this site's running jokes is Captain Janeway's blind rage at the concept of "antimatter radiation". What episode is the origin of this vendetta?

Probably a Malon episode.

Nope. Though now that you mention it, the idea of anyone in this universe having so much antimatter they're throwing it away should probably have outraged her just as much.

That sounds like she's talking about Emck, from "Night," but I didn't think he was from another universe.

I don't think you followed that exchange correctly. Nate suggested the Malon, and I was just saying nope, not them. (My emphasis on "this universe" was a physics thing. Our universe is biased toward regular matter over antimatter; it's easy to imagine the bias going the other way in a different one.)

No, I was sort of agreeing with you. It sounds like Emck, but it clearly isn't.

Okay, a hint: the radiation was killing people. For plot purposes, it might as well have been Chernobyl-style nuclear radiation rather than the kind that annihilates everything it touches.

Ugh. "Friendship One." That horrible, horrible episode.

Yep. Lots of people seem to hate that one for different reasons. I was furious about Carey being brought back just to die; Jim Wright argued passionately against Janeway's carelessly-written final sentiment that exploration doesn't justify loss of life; purists were angry to see a delta symbol on a probe that predated Starfleet, much less the symbol's broader use which didn't start until the movie era; and Janeway, of course, will personally kill the next person who says "antimatter radiation." (Heh -- I just noticed the fiver also has an April Fool's reference. Timely.)

You're up. Side down.
